regulations, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The various changes to the

said reports, recommendations, and testimony hereinabove set forth.

recommend that the City Council find that the proposed amendments to Chapter 8.12, Zoning Districts and
Permitted Uses of Land; Chapter 8.76, Off-street Parking and Loading Regulations; and Chapter 8.100,
Conditional Use Permit, have no possibility for a significant effect on the environment (CEQA, Section 15061
(b) (3)), that the amendments are consistent with the General Plan, and does recommend that the City Council
